Abstract

The invention relates to the field of pointing devices for navigating in a virtual three-dimensional graphical user interface. The pointing device of the present invention comprises a first sensor and a second sensor, wherein the first sensor is placed at the left button of the pointing device and is operated by the first finger of the user's; wherein the second sensor is placed at the right button of the pointing device and is operated by the second finger of said user's. By engaging in conventional two-finger hand movements that applied in normal mouse operation, the present invention of the pointing device is able to provide a pointing device compatible to various kinds of application software for navigating in a virtual three-dimensional graphical user interface.
